...and need help from you guys to let me know what the best albums of the year so far have been. I know i'm being lazy but i'm working full time atm so don't have enough time to search for them myself. Any help would be much appreciated! |

Because you posted this here do I assume you only look for that kind of metal? Well anyway here are some of mine in no order. This year started slow but now is probably the best in years. Lots of good stuff came out and I barely heard half of it. Prog: Threshold - Dead Reckoning Pagan's Mind - God's Equation Vanishing Point - The Fourth Season (though I hardly consider this prog) Symphony X - Paradise Lost Xystus - Surreal Heavy/Power: Therion - Gothic Kaballah Lion's Share - Emotional Coma Astral Doors - New Revelation Machine Men - Circus Of Fools Helloween - Gambling With The Devil DGM - Different Shapes Kamelot - Ghost Opera Primal Fear - New Religion Thunderstone - Evolution 4.0 Allen/Lande - The Revenge Other: Korpiklaani - Tervaskanto Finntroll - Ur Jordens Djup Samael - Solar Soul (you gotta hear this) No death and stuff but I haven't heard much anyway. The new Ensiferum and Turisas you'll probably like if you haven't heard them already. I'm drawing a blank here so if i remeber anything else i'll let you know. |

for prog/power metal I'd recommend new Helloween, DGM, Redemption and Devin Townsend. If you're into trad metal then check out Holy Martyr (great riffing although their singer has kinda silly italian accent and broken English) or Slough Feg (not as heavy as their last albums but they can still write beautifully retro guitar parts) |

Thanks again! I got Ness to thank for Astral Doors. Their new album is kickass and so far the only one i've heard from them. I've been on a Nils Patrick Johansson listening streak since I discovered Lion's Share. If you like his singing you should check it out...some heavy sounding shit a la Tarot with some 80's influences. You can sample the whole album here: http://www.fanbay.se/buy/index.asp?movi ... pany_id=39 |

Anyway - Prog Crcus Maximus - Isolate Spheric Universe Experience - Anima Symphony X - Paradise Lost I know there is more Power Manticora-The Black Circus Part 2 Helloween - Gambling With The Devil Elvenking - The Scythe Bloodbound - Book of the Dead There is more Other Devin Townsend - Zltoid Korpiklaani - Tervaskanto Finntroll - Ur Jordens Djup These are bands closest to the selected forum. Check them out. |

My favorite CD of the year (and the only one I've rated 5/5) is the Keldian debut, but I'm not sure if it fits your tastes. Here's my full review: http://www.angelfire.com/music5/metalcd ... EVIEW.html Later!
